Weigh-in February 4: As expected

As expected, a one-pound uptick today. According to Lose It, I should have maintained, not gained, but I'm still coughing and I am not going to take anything the scale says too seriously until I'm well again.

I do, however, plan to get back to more orderly eating and at least some gentle exercise. I will probably walk this afternoon, since the cold air actually feels good and clears my head. It looks like we are getting more snow, too, so I may have to shovel again.

I didn't pay any attention to last night's Superbowl until just after halftime -- I got to see the lights go out. Then we flipped over to Downton, which was great as always, and then we were stunned to see the score when we flipped back to the game. I have always said the Super Bowl is usually a pretty boring football game, but the last quarter was exciting. Today, though, I'm feeling very rough around the edges.

About This Blog

Here's the first post from this blog, back in July of 2006. It gives a brief introduction to my weight history and my goals for a a sane, healthy life. I think it's the best introduction that I can give you to this blog and to what this weight management thing is all about for me. You can also look back to my stats when this blog began.
My highest weight ever, sometime around 1995, was probably around 215. I'll never know for sure, because I wouldn't go near a scale at that time in my life. I made Lifetime in Weight Watchers in 2002, but as you can see, that did not end the battle for me.
This time around, I'm taking things slowly and trying to be sane about it. My goal now is to have a life where weight isn't something I think about much. I just want to be happy with who I am and how I look. Wish me luck.
